A method to get the history of code changes done on a given code fragment

When working on a bug, developers need to gain perspective on the codefragments to understand the problem at hand and before proposing afix. They need to understand as to why a particular piece of code wasintroduced or altered. This knowledge is important to understand thehistorical perspective of the issue at hand, because the old check-inscontains valuable comments and insights. This article discloses amethod to automatically get the history of the code changes done on agiven code segment. Using the disclosed method a user would be able toquickly pull out all the modifications done to a code fragment andrefer to them in one place.

To get the history of a given code fragment, an option would beprovided in the version control systems where in user can highlight acode fragment and right click on the selected code. Then the userwould choose option "show history". The tool will then automaticallygo thru the history of the selected fragment and list out all thecheck-ins that have introduced/altered the code fragment in questionfor ready referral.
